The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Improving Wireless Network

Asked by julianmatz in Wireless Technologies, Miscellaneous Networking, Wireless Networking

Hi!

What I have is a 3-storey building. Currently, my 802.11g signal barely makes it to the 2nd floor (I have a wireless router/modem on the ground floor).

I'd like to improve this and thought of connecting a Linksys WRT54GL to my modem and attach 2 high gain antennas to the WRT54GL.

However, I also need at least one RJ45 port for an ethernet connection on the second floor, so I then thought of keeping my existing wireless router on the ground floor and using the WRT54GL on the 2nd floor in some type of bridge mode.

I don't think I'm fully clear on the terminology/functionality though. What exactly do I need? A bridge, AP, wireless extender/repeater, WDS, or a combination of these?

Also, any recommendations for products would be useful (I heard the WRT54GL was fairly good). My supplier stocks Linksys, Belkin, D-Link, Buffalo, Cisco, Netgear, HP, Zyxel and 3Com....

My existing wireless router by the way is a D-Link DSL-2740B-UK.
